Description
Pactola Lake is the largest reservoir in the Black Hills of South Dakota and is created by the Pactola Dam. At the bottom of Pactola Lake is the submerged town of Pactola, an old mining camp and site of several military bivouacs during the original settlement of the Black Hills in the mid-1870s. The lake is located on Rapid Creek in Pennington County, South Dakota. The lake provides the water supply for Rapid City. It is owned and operated by the U S Bureau of Reclamation, with the various recreational facilities operated by the US Forest Service, and is one of the recreational areas of Black Hills National Forest. Boating and fishing are very popular, with a walk-in fly-fishing area located on Rapid Creek below the dam. dakota, light, photography, pactola, lake, flag, american, american flag, old glory, ccc, civilian conservation corps, reservoir, boat, boating, fish, fishing, black hills, south dakota, mountains, clouds, blue, water, nature, rock, shore, shoreline, camp, camping #201209073681
